So I purchased the game and I started to play it but it doesn't show the images just this weird photo icon, images work completely fine on demo but not the one I bought (yes I'm on mobile) 

For some reasons mobiles aren't able to access the image folder, it works on computer and on the browser.

I've been looking for a way to fix that but I haven't found it, so I recommend you, and everyone, to play on computer or the browser.

Also the game is free, thank you for the donation!

Ok Thanks for letting me know, and no problem

(+1)

Looks like a good base so far. It's refreshing to find one of these games with good bones and active development. I look forward to future updates and hopefully larger sizes.

is it normal that each time an update comes out my save is corrupted and i have to restart the game from scratch? amazing job, love your work btw

It's not normal, the game should let you load/import your previous save.

oh, weird, This happened a few times already and i just replayed the game; i don't know if there's something i can do about it, to let you know this is the specific error that it gives me when i try to load:

Sorry to interrupt... The story tried to load saved data, but there was a problem.The variables on turn 2 couldn't be reconstructed. (The value (or type) of the variable $dchar couldn't be found in the passage "Macro".)

and this is the one when i try to import it:

Save corrupted - Twine refused loading it!

Maybe you saved in a werid place?

I don't know, the save feature is something that I got from public domain.

Try saving in the bedroom or some static place.

so i tried that a few times and in a few places, but it doesn't seem to really work with anything, that's a bummer.

At this point i  will probably wait for the full release and play it all in the same version

What a pity, each time I've been testing the saves it worked, I can't do more to help you with that, have you tried exporting the data?

I definitely would love to see the cap for things able to be increased via certain unlocks and events. So far, things cap at 4, but what I would love to see is the caps raised to 8 or even 12. BUT with a catch!

To unlock these higher tiers, you have to do very specific events and unlocks. For intelligence, it might be via harder courses and events, and once you have it, you have it.

For Charm and Muscle, your max increases, but there is a catch. Legally, you can only ever be up to a certain size in certain areas. So pushing beyond that, outside of those could see yourself being requested to be drained down, or they limit your size in some way. It may already be in effect, or maybe you just need to do some ritual to get those larger sizes and keep them.

This also means the first requirement to reach these higher sizes is the improved SAD, so that you can change your size on the fly to comply with regulations around town. 

This way, the players can still earn higher and higher max sizes (bigger numbers go brrr for the brain), yet you can keep the player in a very specific size range for events and situations, with better control for the events and how things play out.

So I imagine there will eventually be a police station (or sheriff's station at least, that could upgrade into a police station) and Town Hall, where events can take place. Sometimes Libraries can also act as town halls, or vice versa, in case you want to start the town with those buildings put together.

That brings me to some other ideas, such as building renovations and upgrading locations (both to allow for bigger sizes IN those areas, letting them be higher-tier zones, and also to reach higher relationship levels with individuals).

And ya know, the chance of learning more magic (which could be gotten at the highest tier of magic) could be interesting.

These are just some thoughts and ideas, but they could certainly be of use for the construction site beyond the Onsen. 

And while it likely won't happen, I wouldn't mind visiting the town with all the guys, just cause.

(Also, just more outfits and things, and furniture to buy.)

(+2)

Thank you for your ideas!

The idea of making higher size levels and intelligence level tied to certain events or unlocks is interesting, it could make it more manageable.

The problem will always be the amount of images needed for each size and the fact that making bigger sizes can lead to big inconsistencies in the characters but I'll think about it.

That "police station" or regulation about the size is interesting but it could feel too restrictive, if I implement something like that it will probably be an automatic limit, more "mystical" like a rule that's just in the area and auto enforces itself.

I have been thinking for a while in a building for special events with more characters but the fact that writing an event with too many characters is harder is stopping me a bit, I may revisit this idea in the future.

Upgrading some buildings would be an interesting mechanic but I'd need to think about how to balance it, using the construction site as nexus for that would give it too much importance so maybe using plain money... I'll think about it, that could give more uses to the money in game.

More clothes are definitely planned, one of them is already teased in game!

I'll keep thinking and developing the game with care (even if I end up missing some bugs until the reports come, sorry for that!).

I only suggested a sheriff and such just to make the town feel a little fuller (and someone in uniforms too, cause that can be hot)
I'd likely add a town hall OR make the library also act as a town hall, a place where events could happen every so often, and have content with more of the town interacting. But again, your probably right, large character events can take quite a bit of effort. 

And for the inconsistency issue, is why I suggested either requiring a micro SAD purchase of your own, which can take some effort to get, which would add a SAD to the menu right below stats, but also, make you auto adjust in certain areas, to enforce consistency in scenes and areas in a logical sense, maybe with a little mention of your size auto compressing as you enter so you aren't being taken out of left field by your size restriction. 

And if you want to lessen the importance of the construction site, an option could be that doing the work on the construction site speeds up how quickly the buildings come in, but they will be done regardless of whether you participate or not. So it's a build speed booster, but not mandatory.
Of course, the building can only happen after it's been funded and approved as well. 

Thanks for considering my words, and I am more than happy to share more words, discussions, and ideas in the future, as they come to me.

(+1)

I'll see what can I do. 

I need to keep in mind the limitations that the language and my skills create.

I don't think that a dynamic S.A.D. as that is a lot harder to implement without breaking stuff.

The building system is something that I need to think about!

(2 edits)

Then just have a narrative advanced SAD that is required to access the higher tiers, without any mechanics behind it. 


But thanks on hearing me out, and sorry for being a bother. Just replying with ideas. Keep up the good work!

(+1)

Do you have any plans to expand the projects the construction workers do?

I definitely loved the concept of us practically building the Onsen from the ground up. 

I'd like to do that but first I need to think of good new buildings and expand the rest of the features.

At the same time I need to keep everything at a reachable state so maybe!

Yep, you do you Mana. Even I'm drawing blanks on what you could possibly add to the story.

Well besides this Witches place being a Farm 5 miles out of town. 

how do i drain dain

(+1)

Get your intelligence lvl up then start reading the draining books in library. After that you'll get the opportunity to drain her.

how do i build the onsen?

You need to train Runa and Lassy first, as a personal trainer.

To unlock Lassy you need to finish training Runa, work enough in the construction site and talk with Reika!

When will we get more sizes for the heroine?

To be honest I don't know If I'll give her more full sizes, I'm thinking about just making events with specific bigger sizes instead.

Well now I'm darn curious about this "Witch" the book talked about. Best guess is that it's either Beth or the Red headed woman that wrote the draining books. 

Would be interesting though if this Witches place is practically hiding in plain sight. "Hey remember that farm outside of town?" 

I'm glad it made you curious!

More will come in due course~

(+1)

I can't wait to see how this story plays out, it's going to be an interesting one I can tell you that much.

 cool feature would be after super drain day you can walk into the forest and find the cabin and be able to drain gigantic Diane 

That's already available in the game, or maybe I'm not understanding what you want to say.

when you visit Diane after her super drain day, she is small… it would be cool if you could visit her after her super drain day and drain her to become massive for the night

I understand you now.

When you visit Diane after that day, she has already recovered her original size, so I don't have plans right now to add a second consecutive super drain.

Thank you for the suggestion nevertheless!

:)

(+1)

Great update even if i got troubles like corrupt save and some bugs. I like how onsen works and this update bigger than last imho. Looking forward for what comes next.

Thank you for your words!

What happened to your save?

well it was corrupted. it worked in 4.1 and i even putted in 5.0 and it worked. but at 5.1 twine didnt read it, or smth like that maybe i misunderstanded.

I hope it doesn't happen again, I don't know why could it happen.

(+1)

The S.A.D. isn't working.

(+1)

Thats the best i could think of how to help

(1 edit)

I'll look into it but I didn't change anything related to these variables, it's weird.

Edit: Fixed, looks like adding visibility to the numbers broke the variables, I fixed it using something extra.

(+1)

Bug found, Hartow's curse book won't return after reading it

It's fixed, thank you again for reporting it!

how do you get the book?

So I notice that there's an extra hidden image for diane in the lv2 gallery. I did the super drain stuff so is their another encounter with her or no? Also does the forest book currently do anything or not?

(+1)

So the forest book allows you to walk the draining grounds at night where you get to see that Diane lv2 image.

how do i get a S.A.D?

As I told before, by having high enough intelligence and strength before talking to Beth (and having progressed with her affinity level).

How do you exactly "get drained"?

You need to unlock something first, by having high enough intelligence and strength before talking to Beth.

I mean't like, By Diane, I have the S. A. D. How do I get drained by her?

You have to be drained in her "Super drain day" 

A great game. Have you ever thought about enriching Beth's content or adding some muscles to Beth?

Thank you for your support!

I have plans to add more content to Beth but right now I don't have plans for strength events. I'll see what can I do in the future!

I know this is a big project, thank you very much.

when do you expect the next major update to come out?

I don't have a date nor timeframe, I'll slowly work on it!

Hello, I can offer to process your images.

(+1)

Thank you for offering but there's no need, I'm fine generating them myself and I try to keep a degree of consistency between them.

what ai do you use?

I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion, with pony based models.

I switched to the Illustrious generation half a year ago. How long ago did they fix the bad fingers problem in pony? I switched to Illustrious because of the more accurate anatomy, especially non-human (tails, wings).

I don't know, the model I use is acceptable with fingers and if needed I can apply Adetailer to try and improve them.

(+1)

Also little addition, i would like to see little explanation why Ame and Jade dont loose their size while draining each other(like without losses)

I may add it if I give them more events, but the explanation is simple!

Small but good update

Great update! Love the pace.

Amazing Update I like what's been added with the draining grounds.

If I may make a small suggestion, once we read the "How to drain properly" book the player being able to drain Diane when she's in her "Super drain" mode alongside her other sizes? Sort of a tie in to sizes bigger than 4 being more event / knowledge oriented.

(1 edit)

That's an interesting idea, I am thinking of events for the cabin as right now it's incomplete (you can only rest there) so I may refine that idea and do something in those lines, thanks!

(1 edit)

Welcome Mana

It'd be something funny when you start draining her while she's in her "Super-Sized" mode and she responds with.

"Well it looks like the tables have turned then? Go ahead, it was your size to begin with." 

-

I also have another question. Are we going to be able to drain the other folks around town or is all going to be condensed into just the "draining grounds"? I'm thinking that's probably going to be the case but I was curious. 

Edit : Oh I had an epiphany. Maybe that could work if we wanted to go on a date with some of the characters with have affinity with? They drain us we drain them? I'm more just spit balling ideas here Mana since I know any sort of implementation will take a decent amount of work regardless. 

We'll see how the event is shaped in the future.

About the draining grounds, yes, I plan to keep most draining/attribute theft content contained in that area, I may add some small events related to that in other places but most of them will stay there.

A "dating" system is something that I've had in mind for a long time but I don't know if I would be able to implement it, besides that, I don't want to enter in the usual mistake of game making beginners, making too many systems and ending up with a lot of incomplete stuff.

(1 edit)

You do you Mana, I know this stuff is a lot of work.

I was more so just curious about what's going to be done with character "affinity".

When it comes to Diane and her cabin all I hope is any more implementation is something interesting and with luck a Super-Sized drain event. 

But I wish you good luck regardless Mana on how you wish to proceed with this project. I'll still play any updates you put out no matter how long they take to make. 

What's the biggest your character can get? Cup size and strength

(+1)

It's a max of lvl 4 for both charm and strength. If you play through more of the game you will get a device that let's you see all the different levels.

Thanks

Will be new grow stages for the Next version?

(+1)

No, I don't have new growth stages planned right now.

(+1)

Any good news? Very expecting to the new update and check this page everyday

~( TロT)σ

(+2)

I've been progressing more lately, I'll try to release the new update this week!

Well I wish you luck with that man. Hopefully it'll look amazing.

(+1)

update when 😭

I'm slowly working on it, when inspiration comes by!

Honestly I'm darn curious what the update is going to be this time around. 

Maybe some events with the characters around town since there's a baseline? 

I can tell you that I will expand Diane's events a bit, the rest is a secret for now!

Got it, I'll be pleasantly surprised when the update comes out then.  

That is so great! Very expecting to the next update!

(+2)

Love with what you are doing with the attribute theft genre! Content like this is hard to find, keep it up!

Could it be possible to add mini`gts? since, if memory serves, beth makes herself taller to reach higher shelves you could introduce a height stat and tie it to intelligence or some other stat.

I don't have plans for that but thanks for the suggestion!

(5 edits) (+1)

I thought about cool event for cafe girls. As we know main char size while working in cafe is a lot different than real one. So what i propose is some kind of event, where you meet cafe girls outside of cafe and see their real sizes. For example Heather can be pretty petite, while other can be very muscular, so she works in cafe to be more lighter or something like this. Oh well and as someone previously mentioned some kind of detective where girls finds out why their boss is visiting draining grounds from time to time.

Other one. Maybe some kind of way to earn money on draining grounds? Like working as some kind of manager who chooses girls to be drained and draining ones. Maybe some kind of minigame to relate big ones to small ones if its possible.(I hope im not too annoying with suggestions lol)

Also as i notice intellect dont have too much of use, or i missed smth. Great game tho, your all games are good. Also what you use to generate pictures?

I'll have to think about it, I have some plans for extra content with the cafe girls but it doesn't have a clear form yet, and I don't plan to add a money earning minigame to the draining grounds.

Intelligence has some uses and there will be more in the future, right now it increases the xp you gain with certain events and allows you to know extra information sometimes.

I generate everything using a local installation of StableDiffusion.

Thanks, cant wait for next update. Good luck!

Also what model you use?

With this last game I was using HassakuXL

I take it stuff like Futa, Preggo and even Polymastia(multi-breasts) are out of the question?

(+1)

Yes, I plan to keep it simple, centered around attribute theft and breast and muscle growth.

Big Sad. i also take it level 4 is the current cap for stuff for this update?

It is, right now level 4 is the max and I'm thinking about the future of the game, I don't know If I'll implement bigger levels or events with more situational growth.

Maybe you could do a mix of both? Some situational growth depending on the job that you're doing? Since those aprons at the Cafe have some darn strong magic to em if we can go from lvl 4 to lvl 1 once putting on the apron.

Higher levels past 4 could be more event oriented. 

I'll think about it, right now I'm missing inspiration and I want to be inspired to create enjoyable stories!

The picture in Affinity about the medium size Heather is broken , can you fix this?

i like the three charaters in the cafe,is there any possibility making them in the main characters?

I've already received a report about that and It will be fixed in the next big version!

I may give the cafe girls more events but right now I don't have plans to make them main characters, thank you for your support!

Maybe when it comes to the cafe girls small events happening when we're working at the Cafe? Or possibly the trio trying to figure out why there Boss heads down to "The Draining Grounds" from time to time? 

(+1)

I liked all your other games (Draining pageant is genius imo, I don't know many draining/size theft games, and this one is actually very well done). I like this game too, good foundation. Feedback would be, I would like some more detailed growth scenes for each girl you interact with, at each affinity level increase. For example, I would love to see Reika getting progressively huge ^^.

Thank you for your games!

Thank you for playing!

I've had more people request that so I'll try to write more detailed growth events when I'm inspired.

(2 edits)

This is definitely the best FMG game I have played so far, really great work. I have finished the game, and so far my favorite character is definitely Heather. Really excited for future updates.

Speaking of  which, do you plan to add any NSFW content in the future?


And I have a few suggestions for the game and bugs i noticed:

- At night time, the option to take a nap is still there. But if you take a nap at night, then your only option afterwards is to sleep. So it makes more sense to only offer a sleep feature at night in my opinion, just to save the user from an unnecessary click.

- When you go to the Gym and press the 'work as a personal trainer' option, there is no way to back out. 

- The progress page does not display a picture of your character for certain level combinations. 

- You cannot change your mind and leave most places after you have already selected it.

-Level 4 in strength and charm looks pretty good. It would be nice to see some more steps in both of those stats so the growth doesn't feel as rapid. Though I understand the crazy amount of images that you need for each stat combo, so I can understand why this probably isn't a priority.

-Forgot to add this, but what causes an increase on coffee sizes in the cafe? It is stuck on small for me for some reason. I was able to get it to increase immediately after drinking a small in my previous playthrough.

(2 edits) (+1)

Thank you for playing and giving me such a detailed feedback!

I'll change the "take a nap" from the night option because, as you say, it's redundant.

The different "work" options are usually a "I'm going to work now" meaning that not being able to back out from them is intended, and most actions are intended to be done once you select them.

I'll have to change some code in the progress screen because the pictures are in the game, thank you for pointing it out.

As you said adding more steps in the middle would be a huge work load so I don't plan to do it, and I'm glad that you enjoy their looks!

The coffee sizes are intended to be unlocked after drinking the previous size once (and owning enough money to buy the next one) I'd like to have more info about what you are experiencing because these should be unlocking. 

I'll check the code to see if there are any errors or exceptions that I haven't seen!

Edit: It should be fixed now, you may need to reset the game one more time to make it work as I've had to create some new variables that need initializing!

(+1)

Thank you, it seems to be working now

Will you do a android version?

No, I can't create an app without using some tools that may forbid what I do so I prefer to keep it safe without using them.

It's more or less playable on phone with the web version.

ok thanks 

Joiplay works as well

Not to rush you, but do you know what the wait until the next update will be?

I don't have a clear date as I work when I have inspiration, sorry!

Nah, it's fine. Looking forward to the next update!

(+1)

A great game! My favorite character is the espresso barista.

Thank you for playing, I'm glad that you like Heather so much!

(+1)(-2)

we need More updates SOON.

(+1)

Just got done with the update amazing work as always. I'm curious though if you have plans to expand how we interact with the characters at the Pool, Gym and Library? 

If you mean the "random encounter" I don't have plans for that right now.

If you mean the main characters, I want to think about a good way to add new events, even something that could involve a different place, but for now I'll just show the personality and a bit of the story of each character in small events.

(2 edits)

I mean draining all the size or vice versa from the person that runs the draining grounds would be decent. Or a competition between her and the player a "Drain off" you could say. They both start at lvl 4 and see who can drain all the size from the other.

That's one of the possibilities that I've been thinking of for her future levels, I don't know what will end up happening but I'm already thinking about it!

(2 edits)

Anyway you implement it all I know is that it'll look amazing in the end. I loved getting jumped by Anney from the "Cafe" at the draining grounds that was a pleasant surprise. 

Oh here's other idea that might be an interesting concept. Like Anney are you going to have different people from around town show up at the draining grounds when they either want to "burn off" some size or get huge. If I remember correctly you already did the Carpenter as well. 

Speaking of the Carpenter is there going to be more done with her alongside the other folks at the Mall besides buying one to two items? 

Thanks, I plan to keep expanding some events, adding characters from the town to have them appear in multiple places!

And yes, I have some plans for the mall girls in the long run, I may even add new shops but that's for the future.
